Koa Pancake House - Lite Bite chocolate chip pancakes bacon n eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

3 stars is too generous of the restaurant's food. It was a large order, pre-ordered, and too thick stacks of pancakes and it all ended up being wasted. Pancakes should be fluffy, not thick and dry. The other food was nice portions though. read more

First of all, most locals don't have debit or credit cards to pay. This place DO NOT ACCEPT CASH. Sad n loses money for business. Than the lady was rude to me n rolled her eyes at me when I told her I gotta get my card from the car. The plate now has to much rice packed in it, like half the plate high. Never came across a places to eat that didn't show the price on the receipt. A customer before me grumble about the price not shown. They should show the price always. Use to have local girls working who was way more polite n better customer service. Only Filipino I seen, im not racist at all. But they need to do better in the front service counter. Lost me as a customer. read more

Koa Pancake House - Where's the price No price on it - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Cute breakfast place breakfast the mall. If u get the pancakes, u must get the coconut syrup as well. It's soooooo good. I see why they use paper plates and disposable utensils as a business but I hate eating my runny eggs on a paper plate. The only thing that they have different from other breakfast restaurants is their coconut syrup. And they will give u like 2 small containers so ur not gonna be able to get your big back on lol read more

I like Koa Pancake House, they have the best corned beef hash and vinha d'alhos (pork marinated in a mixture of garlic, wine, and vinegar). But, the one thing I will not recommend here is the hamburger loco moco - the patty was super hard and had no flavor at all. The gravy was also bland and a bit too thick/gelatinous in my opinion...definitely SKIP! If you order takeout check your food and make sure you have all your condiments. I asked if they put syrup and butter in my bag and drove all the way home to find nothing inside :/ read more

3 STARS FOR GOOD REASON! Everything about this place is local and awesome. Food is great but they only get 3 Stars because they don't carry butter. ONLY MARGARINE! I will never eat there again because of this. Might as well pour motor oil over the pancakes. No thanks! read more

Stopped by Koa Pancake House in Kapolei and had such a good experience. There were three of us, but we ordered different things and shared. We got the banana pancakes, corned beef hash moco, and Vinha D'Alhos. All were comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a local breakfast spot. We ordered five pancakes thinking we'd finish them but only made it through three. The aunty at the counter knew better and served it in a to-go container. She even brought us extra plates because she knew we were going to share everything. That kind of thoughtfulness really stood out. She asked if we wanted the corned beef hash crispy and of course we said yes! The banana pancakes were hot, soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The Vinha D'Alhos was hearty and satisfying, perfect tang alongside the pancakes. The aunty working the counter was filled with aloha, and it was obvious she was adored by both the staff and other patrons. They were in the middle of cleaning when we arrived, but it didn't hinder our experience at all. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and we genuinely had a good time. This place feels like one of those spots where you're treated like family. Definitely coming back. read more

Ate a here couple times in the past but haven't been here in a long time. Went right at opening with barely anyone dining in. Order and pay at the counter then choose your seats. Ordered a loco moco with guava juice, eggs, portuguese sausage and fried rice with pineapple juice. Food came out pretty quick and delicious breakfast. Eggs cooked to perfection. Just enough portion to eat all at once without any leftovers. Service was also good. read more

Koa Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

When my relatives came to visit and asked where we liked to eat breakfast, this was the first place I thought of. Parking: There is free parking, but it does get filled up fast. Plan ahead for that. Location: they are at at the end of Kapolei Marketplace next to Supercuts. Its no frills, casual, walk in kind of place. Nothing fancy, but it's definitely filling. Things to know: it is first come first serve. The tables get taken quickly, but usually by the time you order, a table opens. Just be prepared to get it as takeout. Food: this place has something for everyone. The got sweet, they got savory and they the usual breakfast staples. My kids usually get the pancakes. What I usually get is the Vinha D'alhos with rice. Just writing about it makes me hungry. Its this marinated pork that fried. It has a tangy vinegar and shoyu taste and it's so good with rice. Anyway, so I brought my relative here. I ordered the Vinha D'alhos for her. She took a bite and her eyes lit up. She said it tasted so good. She ended going back another day for more. This is one of those places you can come in and have a quick casual breakfast. No frills, but delicious. We love coming here because it's close by but we have visited other locations. read more

Great service! Excellent pancakes! Staff always friendly and helpful! Mac Nut pancakes are amazing

Koa Pancake House is one of my favorite breakfast spots when I'm in Oahu. I usually visit the Pearl City location, but since I was staying in Ewa Beach this time, I decided to try the Kapolei location, which has no drop-off. The three-egg build-your-own omelette with either hash or potatoes is a must-try. The portion sizes are massive, so it's perfect for sharing with someone or if you're really hungry. The food service is amazing. From the manager to the people at the concessions, everyone treats you like family and is very prompt with delivery services. Some locations can be very crowded, so be prepared for a long wait if you want to get in and out quickly. Overall, Koa Pancake house is definitely worth the visit. I'll definitely try the Chunky Monkey Pancakes next time I come. read more

We walked in on a busy morning (it's always busy) cause the food is so amazing!! Ordered our food and while sitting and waiting in great anticipation, since this is one of my favorite spots to come iykyk. While sitting and waiting, I noticed there were dust on the walls and ants were crawling on the wall as well. I absolutely love koa pancake House and I will definitely be back many many times again and again, but I just wanted to draw to your attention those two things and for tourists who tend to be a little freaky about that stuff don't let it bother you and order the food anyway you won't be disappointed read more

It's interesting to see a pancake fast food joint but the cakes were good and prepared quickly. The omelet my wife had was full of veges and cheese. The hash browns were crispy and smooth. It is a fast food place but there is a nice variety of food. The service was pleasant. Come, order, eat. read more

Needed a sweet pick me up after dropping off our daughter at school. What we got was a simple and rather peaceful and serene diner feel experience. My husband and I went in for breakfast early in the morning and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The food was tasty as we ordered the breakfast plates of Vienna sausage over easy eggs and fried rice as well as bacon with over easy eggs and fried rice. Splitting the strawberry cheesecake short-stack was well the icing on the pancake. Absolutely delicious and I wholeheartedly recommend. To top everything off the service we received was warm and friendly serving us our water and enjoying nice conversation. read more

Love this location since it's a little more roomier than the other Kapolei one. Came in today for some breakfast (pancakes specifically). Full stack was about $8-$9 not bad and they were sooo yummy! I also loved their breakfast burrito. It was the perfect size and it came with salsa and sour cream. The hash browns were a bit crunchy/over cooked but we didn't mind. My daughter called it french fries. Foil is available for your convenience to wrap up your plates to-go! read more

Good fun good service. Omelette was delicious. Prices are good too. I would definitely come back here. Easy parking and plenty of cool store to shop afta! Pancakes were bomb too read more

Koa Pancake House - Takeout Spinach Mushroom omelette with potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I came here after hearing my cousin said it was a go to. It wasn't too busy here and it was a chill environment. Ordering at the counter was quick. We ordered the Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice breakfast and a breakfast burrito. The food took a while to come out. I came with one other person and once my food finally came out, the other dish didn't come out for about 10 more minutes. The food was just ok to me, but maybe I should have ordered pancakes. I forgot to take a picture of the breakfast burrito once it finally came out. I will be back again to try the pancakes. read more

Koa Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Koa Pancake House is a staple childhood memory for my sis and I. Our parents and grandparents used to take us to this place all the time. So it was a treat to come back to one of the locations during a family trip. I had to order the corn beef hash with eggs and buttermilk pancakes. I also got to try to the corn beef hash Loco Moco that my sis had and the macadamia nut pancakes. Everything was cooked perfectly. It was genuinely a good home cooked breakfast. The pancakes were soft and fluffy. The Macademia pancakes had a good natty flavor. The inside of this Koa Pancake house was small, but could accommodate a fair amount of people. This location is located in an outside mall and opens earlier than the other stores. The servers were very nice. They did forget one of our sides but they were able to make a quick fix to it. But I give them credit because on the day we went, the place was packed. I recommend this spot for the good food and the good prices. I also think this spot is for families. There were a lot of kids and they def. enjoyed the pancakes from this place. read more

We always love eating at Koa pancake House but it was our first time at this location, KamakanaAlii Mall. Service was great, our cashier was very kind and friendly, lots of seating and such a beautiful restaurant. We ordered our regular breakfast and paid extra for the fried rice. The fried rice didn't have any taste and there was chunks of white rice ( not mixed well). It just tasted like regular white rice. They shouldn't charge extra for the fried rice if the cook won't really make fried rice. Not coming back to this location again. read more

This is located conveniently at the Ka Makana Ali'i mall. There was no wait on a Wednesday morning at 7 am. You ordered at the counter, then grab a seat. Do not grab a table before ordering - a big no no. I ordered eggs, sausages, and macadamia nuts pancakes. Way too much food. Everything was delicious; however, not all the food came out together. I was waiting for my pancakes, and by the time they came out, my eggs were cold. It's a little disappointing. The portion was huge. I could not finish. I would return again if I am in town. read more

We love going to Koa Pancake house afor breakfast and for me I love their fried rice and extra crispy Belgian waffle. Although the fried rice is simple with just ham and green onions, there is just something about it that I really like. We decided to order breakfast online at this location. I went into pick up our order and was glad that they were able to have it prepared earlier than the given time. I got home and we opened up our food to eat. When my boyfriend took a bite into the fried rice, he told me it tasted like a cleaning agent was mixed into it. I was shocked and tasted rhe fried rice in my plate and it was the same thing. It was awful and upsetting. We couldn't even eat it because it was really really bad. I called the restaurant to make a complaint and spoke to the Manager. He was kind enough to say the next time we come in, we can tell him he said that our meals would be comp. I don't understand how our fried rice could have tasted like that and I wonder if anyone had the same issue. Luckily, we did not get sick from it. It was such a big disappointment and bad practice and I don't know if we will return to that location again. read more

If you eat here, do NOT sit down until you order. I didn't notice the sign when we walked in because I was so focused on the menu and the long line and the filled dining room. We Found a table and sat down while hubby waited in line. It wasn't until we were sitting when an employee told us we couldn't just sit down and that the other people who were there could kick us off our table if they wanted to. Then I noticed the sign. That, and everyone standing in front of hubby in line giving us the stinkest eyes. Gooood way to start the morning. The dining space is nothing fancy, pretty small but it works. Food was brought to our table, so service was good. I'm not gonna lie I was pretty excited about the food because the line was so long but It was just okay. Nothing to brag about. Corned beef was canned, fried rice tasted plastic-y, omelette texture was rubbery. Meals were well plated though, everything was photogenic and instagramable . (See pix) Not really impressed with the food but wasn't hungry afterwards so guess that's a good thing. I feel like their "don't sit until you order" sign should be outside above their menu so people can see it better. (Felt so bad about taking up a table after learning we weren't supposed to) Other than that, it was okay. read more

We went for brunch on a Thursday morning. It wasn't full, there were a lot of seats available at that time. The air conditioning was set at a good temperature and seats were comfortable. The servers were quick, very pleasant, and smiled a lot. The price was reasonable for the huge portion sizes. The fried rice was delicious, they did our scrambled egg well too, and the two slices of Portuguese sausages was good too. The Guava Lava Mochiko Waffle was fantastic. The crepes were really huge and thick... may feel like you're getting your money's worth for the price but it really felt more like a "crepe-style pancake" than a crepe, so it wasn't as fun to eat. It was crazy filling because it was so thick... the strawberries and bananas helped make it more palatable. If you were hoping for a thin light crepe, maybe no need order this one. Other than that, pretty good. We'd come back maybe to try the kalbi and the chunky monkey waffle. read more

My family and I love visiting Koa Pancake House for a quick breakfast on the weekends. During our recent visit, the service was great as my order was repeated to ensure that I received the correct items. My kids always go for the 5-stack strawberry pancakes and split it, while I usually get the corned beef hash plate well done. The only downside is that there is very little corned beef for the price, so they could add a little more, but overall it's still very tasty. My husband typically orders the bacon, eggs, rice, and side toast, and he always leaves full and happy. I would definitely recommend Koa if you're looking for a delicious and fast breakfast option. They have a big menu that includes lunch as well. The pancakes are particularly delicious and served hot. However, depending on the time you visit, the seats can fill up fast. But since families are usually in and out quickly, it's never too much of an issue. read more

Koa Pancake House in Ka Makana Alii mall is failing in life. I ordered online and it said 45 minute wait so I got there 15 minutes early after going to Coffee Bean. I walked up to pick up area lots of bags no help but four workers there. They refilling butter and syrup but no customer service at all. I walk out and wait on the bench and five minutes till I walk back in. Again nobody asks for my name to pick up my order no eye contact nothing. So I wait standing there till I see a cook walk away from the grill. I asked is my order ready and give my name. The girl hands me a bag of my cold order that sat there for at least 15 minutes. WTH A couple of customers who seen me get my food and walk to my car came up to me and said that was really bad service you got. Koa Pancake House has turned into Zippys so many locations yet shitty workers!!! read more

Love love love this location!!! Must give major shoutouts to TJ, who works the cashier station and manages the flow of everything that happens here. Tables are always sanitized, he remembers our likes and dislikes, and makes us feel like we're all friends. He even made sure to wish us safe travels, having remembered we fly out today after my mentioning it a few days ago. The food is still delicious, hefty portions, and if the tables are packed?? Get it to go, walk fifty feet, and enjoy it at the tables in the outdoor mall space. Thank you for many great meals, Koa!!! We heart you! read more

They brought our dishes nicely onto our table. The staff is so helpful and friendly to me and my friend. The food was so good, the waffles was so crispy and yet soft and same as the bacon. The meats and eggs were cooked to perfection, hot and soft and delicious. The place is very clean and the environment is so nice and welcoming to family and friends.

My FAVORITE koa pancake house on the island! This location is outstanding. Service, quality, and the food is consistent every time. No matter the circumstance like yesterday being Mother's Day, they had my order ready on time, the food was hot, and the customer service friendly! Made Mother's Day a simple one by doing take out for brunch. Ordered full stacks of pancakes, the ube pancakes, a few orders of the home style potatoes, and (a blueberry waffle & vin a dos breakfast burrito not pictured) Pancakes were warm and fluffy! Added some of my own fresh bananas and strawberries. The ube pancakes were just right, not too sweet or heavy. Added some of my own shredded coconut to it and it worked perfectly! Threw the potatoes in the air fryer for a more crisp bite, and wallah! I cooked up my own sausages, but they do sell these items ala carte too if you aren't in the mood for cooking lol Had the blueberry waffle on the side which is always a huge one, and tasty! And can't forget that vin a dos breakfast burrito which comes with the vinegar-y meat, eggs, onions and potatoes. SOOO good! They packed a great amount of butter spreads, syrups, ketchup, and salt/pepper packets too! Koa Pancake House made our Mother's Day a sweet one, thank you! Will keep dining/taking out from this location~ You guys are the BEST! Also want to add, the local braddah who wears a hat always working the front area is absolutely so kind and has so much aloha! He goes above and beyond from taking orders, to packing up orders, serving food, cleaning/sanitizing, to checking on you to make sure everything is good and if you need anything else. Our 'ohana appreciates your hard work every time we dine in or takeout. Mahalo to YOU! read more

Staff friendly and courteous! Even though it gets busy via dine in and take out they carry themselves well! The last time I ordered they got my name wrong so didn't think it was my order so they said sorry it may have been ordered at the other Kapolei Kia but that they can take my order and try start on it and have it ready within 15 mins, but another worker wanted to confirm what I ordered exactly and what my number was and it so happened it was my order under a name close to what my name sounds. The cashier tho was calm and very nice and apologetic. I told her oh no worries sometimes the phone makes us sound muffled that my name got taken down as a Val instead of a Bell.

This is one of the best Koas. Didn't realize that they're independent of one another until the girl at the counter explained. Different menus, different taste, so this makes sense. Lots of good stuff, like Guava waffle and benedicts. We somehow end up here a lot, after the food court offerings don't appeal to us! Nice, casual place to eat and relax. read more

Fast, friendly, and reasonably priced breakfast options. We ordered the kalbi breakfast plate with overhard eggs and macadamia nut pancakes. Velvet waffles with a side of portuguese sausage. And a stack of strawberry cheesecake pancakes. No public restroom or hand sanitizer. Plates, cups, and utensils are all disposable. Coffee is one size with free refills. All pancakes come with powdered sugar and whip cream. Extra charge for coconut syrup. This is a no frill breakfast eatery. read more
